Full Metal Furies
From the creators of Rogue Legacy comes a "true-cooperative" action RPG. FULL METAL FURIES puts an emphasis on team play with a unique combat system where everyone is important. Work together to defeat special enemies, string organics combos to deal massive damage, and save a wartorn world that is battling itself to extinction. Play on the couch or online with friends, and make it a party for up to four players! Or go solo in single-player, and show off your skills through a Pick 2 quick-switch system that retains all the nuances of multi-play. True coordination is needed to take down your foes. Enemies enter the battlefield with coloured barriers, and only allies of a similar colour can shatter them. You must revive your fallen allies. Barriers won’t break themselves! Revive bars naturally raise over time, but a helping hand never hurts.

Half brawler, half puzzle game. Surprisingly this fusion works really well, as puzzles are inventive and fun to crack. Brawler part is okay, but I was actually more excited about clues, secrets and riddles. Some people have a problem with colored shields (enemies are immune until a certain character attacks them), but it was completely fine for me (we played 3p).

This game is an absolute banger for co-op fans. I've purchased this game twice (on PC & Switch), spending 60+ hours on Switch. My partner and I LOVE this game as it offers a unique brawler experience that's fun, engaging and challenging. We tend to stick to our strengths in game meaning she's melee heavy and disrupts the battlefield while I focus on targeted damage and hit stuns. Both of us do our fair share of reviving as the game finds ways of killing the both of us. We do have different skill levels with gaming (she's more casual & I like to be punished) and we find the game balances it well.
We've already completed the the first campaign and are now in the middle of the new game+. It's definitely much more challenging and offers a fresh take as you have everything unlocked! Which leads to my favourite part about the game, each character has access to 4 difference items for each of the action buttons. There is also a skill tree that you an put points into as you level up. From our experience, EVERY item is viable after you take the time to build competency. For example, I found the air crit talents on the sniper to be useless as they were difficult to land until I spent 5+ hours on the air crit tech. Now she's my preferred class in NG+. All characters have synergies with one another leading to interesting build discussions and strategy discovery.
The story is interesting and feels stronger the second time around. There are riddles and secrets to unlock in the game. Some are MUCH much harder than others - we opted to use the internet to help us (thank you so much to the dedicated community members). I don't have the brain power and literacy skills to solve the riddles.
To the Developement Team at Cellar Door Games - THANK YOU for creating a unique and challenging experience - I hope to see a DLC or sequel

We started with 4 people, but now it's just the two of us playing. It's still fun, it's still interesting. The fact that some places in the game are impossible to find without looking at the guide makes it uninteresting. In some places, it is impossible to pass the level without 4 players. Overall, it's one of the best co-op games out there.

I played this initially about a year after launch with a friend, and we had a great time then. Loved the gameplay, loved the focus on puzzles, filling my screenshot folder with clues and drawing out hints, and posting theories in our voice chat channel while getting absolutely dogged on by some secret bosses. Left it satisfied.
Rogue Legacy 2 came out not long ago, and its incredible. Truly a fantastic sequel and worthy of their gameography, had a lovely time. but coming back to this game just today, I'm really surprised to say that I think this is better, to me. I find FMF to be so fresh in today's game space, the co-op focus so delightful, the mechanical overlap between characters so fun. The amount we cheer as we get air crits from one another is a true joy.
Reading that old Destructoid interview is sobering on how the game was a failure, due to some networking issues and just marketing problems. It all makes sense, but its heartwrenching, because I would have adored more of this from these guys. I know a review like this probably wouldn't make it to their eyes, and I don't expect it to change minds; Its a business decision, after all. But I do just want to say that this is my favorite Cellar Door game by a mile. The dev team did great, and I'm hungry for more. Thank you for the incredible experience.

Great co-op game! It works best with 2 players, with 4 it gets a bit messy. Love the gameplay and the humor!

Really fun. I recommend playing with friends. Wish this game was a lot more popular cause I had so much fun with it. Game is quippy and has fun dialogue and the combat isn't anything revolutionary but it's def fun. Try it with friends or a friend, didn't have much fun trying solo.
